About Us

Founded in 1891, The University Club is Boston’s premier social and athletic club. Our Club offers a warm and inviting
atmosphere to its members, families and guests. We pride ourselves on our sense of community, the excellence of facilities and the quality of service provided by our valued staff.

Club History

From its incorporation in 1891, the Club has had two homes. The first Clubhouse was at 270 Beacon Street which was vacated in 1926, when the new Clubhouse officially opened at 40 Trinity Place. For three decades, despite being a vibrant Boston institution, the ‘UClub’, as it is affectionately referred to by its members, struggled against the deep and lasting effects of the Depression and World War II. In the early 1960’s, the Club sold itself to the John Hancock Life Insurance Company, and became a tenant, so that John Hancock could more easily build their landmark Tower, and accompanying garage at 100 Clarendon Street. The 70’s and 80’s were better for the Club. By the mid 90’s, the UClub repurchased a portion of its original building, located at 426 Stuart Street, and over the past twenty years has undertaken a number of significant renovations that have led to the University Club becoming Boston’s premier social and athletic club, with a full membership. In 2016, the University Club celebrates its 125th anniversary and a bright future to come!

Scholarship Program

The University Club of Boston’s Future Leaders of Boston Scholarship Program was founded in 1977. Since its inception, over seventy seniors attending Boston Charter, District and Pilot High Schools have received scholarship awards. Every year, as many as three graduating high school seniors are eligible for a scholarship of up to $5,000 per year, renewable each year for four years to cover gap funding for their college tuition. Scholarship awards are made possible through the generosity of the University Club’s membership.
